"Ivan! Taste a daily bread, but not a Christian's blood...", Krom (Pskov)

"Ivan! Taste a daily bread, but not a Christian's blood..."

"Ivan! Taste a daily bread, but not a Christian's blood..."

That were the words of greeting of Pskov's wacky Nikolka to Russian czar Ivan the Terrible just in front of the walls of Troitzky Cathedral. It was believing that tyrant was in bewilderment and confusion bacause that words and there were not atrocities and violence as Ivan the Terrible have made in Novgorod.
